You study the instructions about bow lamination.  Bow lamination reinforces and strengthens the bow against damage by layering wood, bone or hide along the wood in a manner that does not disrupt the draw strength.  Instead, the protective material and additional layer of finish vastly increases the bow's durability.  After studying this page, simply push clamps onto the bow to unstring and hold the bow in place.  Then you will be able to shape the wood down, apply glue, assemble the backing material, shape it some more into place and lastly to finish it again with stain.
